Award Winning Author, Entrepreneur and Adventurer Headed to San Pablo City, Philippines for Medical Mission

Charles Irion as a Director of The 3000 Club will be Assisting Doctors and Nurses during a Cervical Cancer Treatment and Education Mission

Charles Irion along with volunteers from The 3000 Club Phoenix, Arizona supported by The 3000 Club Philippines with local town doctors and surgeons will perform checkups for 450 women with particular focus on cervical cancer awareness and prevention through pap smear.  Those found with cervical pre-lesions can be treated with cryo therapy.  Those found with lesions will be referred to tertiary hospitals for further treatment/surgery.  The club will also be performing minor surgeries if necessary, as well as providing one extra nutritious meal during the duration of the mission for mothers, pregnant women and children ten and below.

Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer for women and about every two minutes, a woman will die of cervical cancer somewhere around the world.  In the Philippines, it is estimated that 12 Filipino women die of cervical cancer every day, while around five out of 10 women suffering from cervical cancer may die within five years.  In a year, around 6,000 cases and 4,349 deaths due to cervical cancer are documented. 

It’s Charles Irion and The 3000 Club’s hope this mission will help decrease the number of women dying of cervical cancer and help improve the health and well being of indigent women and children by bringing to them health services and education which otherwise they would be able to obtain.

Press Release from Cuenca, Ecuador

I am thrilled to be featured in a press release from my recent Project C.U.R.E. trip to Cuenca, Ecuador.   I am on the advisory board of directors for Project C.U.R.E. Phoenix and I have been trained and certified as a needs assessment representative for Project C.U.R.E. worldwide.

My missions to date have included Belize, Tanzania, Burkina Faso (West Africa), and now most recently Cuenca, Ecuador.  My job as an assessment representative is to insure the needs of the recipients -hospital and clinics- are met while meeting the requirements of local governments and officials.

As you can imagine the doctors and nurses are very excited by my visit as they hope to receive supplies and equipment that will help them better do their job and save lives.  While in Ecuador I met with several doctors and even the mayor.  The picture attached in this press release is of me around the table at the Hospital Municipal seated next to Dr. Patricio Luzuriago discussing the needs of their communities.

Irion Books Releases Fifth Book in the Summit Murder Mystery Series

Murder on Aconcagua

Today Irion Books announces the much anticipated release of the fifth book in their Summit Murder Mystery Series, Murder on Aconcagua.  One of the most unique series ever written, the Summit Murder Mystery Series is co-authored by Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins, and is set at the peaks of the highest mountains on the world’s seven continents.  Remote, inaccessible, they are the crown jewels of climbing.  They are the world’s deadliest mountains, and deaths from falls, avalanches, illness, heart attacks, and high altitude sickness, are a matter of course. Add in murder to the mix, and you get seven of the most original and exciting murder mysteries ever written.

Inspired by Charles Irion’s 1987 attempt to climb Mt. Everest, and his 2011 climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, each book offers the story of a little known region of the world.  The authors promise you will encounter bizarre customs, ancient taboos, political intrigue, and ethnic conflicts, and Murder on Aconcagua is no exception.

In Murder on Aconcagua, Irion says, “Our hero not only battles the brutal elements of the Aconcagua summit, but the determined greed of a murderer.”  The book’s synopsis tells us that hero Scott Devlon is once again sent by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency on another climbing expedition. This time the mountain is Aconcagua, the highest in South America. His mission is to confirm a report that three Inca golden idols have been discovered and are headed to Venezuelan strongman, Hugo Chavez. Legend says he who possesses them is invincible. Scott’s assignment is to prevent that from taking place but he quickly learns that there are those who will stop at nothing, including murder, to get their hands on the idols.
